Is it possible to do this locally with open source software? I have a lot of accounting PDFs to convert but due to privacy concerns it should not run in the cloud.

Does it have to be open source, or just running locally? The paid version of Acrobat does this well. MacOS has pretty good built-in OCR capabilities and Windows isn’t far behind.

If you have the hardware for it, you can run some LLMs locally. Although for accounting data, I probably wouldn’t trust it.
